Customize by use case at your convenience

A system of hardware, software, and network technologies used to track and report the location of physical assets (and often their conditions) to a remote server. Asset tracking applications use location and sensor data to verify asset location, improve business operations and efficiency, and improve end-user experience.

A GPS asset tracker with software (firmware) and hardware that can be modified. These modifications go beyond changing the parameters of pre-set software, and instead allow you to execute firmware updates over-the-air and modify hardware to your specific needs.

You can track anything so long as you can attach a tracking device to it, and the asset travels through areas that support wireless connectivity, such as cellular. For physical device dimensions and environmental robustness, see the device specifications for Twilio’s Programmable Asset Tracker.

Your assets can be tracked globally, though this requires cellular network coverage. Outdoor tracking uses Satellite based GNSS, indoor tracking uses WiFi-based locationing, and additional locationing is supported by BLE beaconing. For a current list of countries where Twilio’s Programmable Asset Tracker has cellular coverage, see Twilio Super SIM available networks.

You’re in control of location reporting periods. Set to a fixed interval or adjust to your specific use case as needed. For example, reporting can be based on motion patterns, impact, location changes (geofencing), or environmental parameters like temperature and other events. Reporting can be continuous (i.e. every 5 seconds), or infrequent to preserve battery life and only triggered by a critical event (like theft). You can configure reporting triggers remotely, and access last location data from Twilio’s servers,

<p data-block-key="tlnti">Twilio’s Programmable Asset Tracker is optimized for a long battery life of up to several years. Includes features like low power standby, quick connections and location fixes, rapid return to low power standby state, robust battery capacity, and intelligent reporting. Battery life is application-dependent, meaning it’s determined by the quantities of data transferred and the frequency of connections. When the device battery is low, you’ll receive an alert to make a change.
